Talks about Sustainable mobility, mobility for women and road safety| TedX speaker | Founder Trustee, Raahgiri Foundation| #VisionZero | Cycling enthusiastic 🦼🛴🛺🚴🏽♀️🚍
Yesterday, on #worldcitiesday a remarkable event unfolded as the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, @MoHUA, and Dutch Cycling Embassy collaborated to present a documentary film screening of "Together We Cycle." This captivating film delved into the rich history and transformation of cycling in the Netherlands. It provided a profound insight into the Netherlands' journey towards becoming a cycling utopia, shedding light on the challenges and struggles they faced along the way. The documentary vividly illustrated that the Netherlands' ascent as a cycling haven was not a simple feat, but rather a hard-fought battle spanning many years. It was a collective effort involving dedicated citizens, practitioners, influencers, and communities that contributed to their success. Drawing parallels to India's current situation, it's evident that the nation stands at a crossroads similar to the Netherlands in the 1960s. To emulate the Dutch success story, it is imperative for India to unite and work towards a common vision and goal. Encouraging widespread cycling and walking enhancing infrastructure, and fostering a walking and cycling-friendly environment are crucial steps towards transforming India into a sustainable nation. By harnessing the spirit of community and collaboration, India can pave its path to becoming a cycling world in its own right, much like the Netherlands did decades ago. This enlightening event serves as a source of inspiration and a roadmap for India's cycling future. #activetransport #sustainabilityjourney #cyclisme Chris Bruntlett BYCS Daniel Ernesto Moser Raahgiri Foundation Dalip Sabharwal Advait Jani Bhairrvi Joshi

🚴♀️ This week we had the pleasure of honoring our employees, who took part in the Tirol Radelt campaign.The campaign aims to clock up cycling kilometers from April to September, while collectively doing something good for our environment and our health. We would like to thank the avid cyclists of our KTA Ebbs office, especially Giulia Carmen Gentile with 1702 km ridden, Angelika Zoller with 1040 km, Simone Karrer with 669 km, Babette Radecky with 550 km, and Ines Pirchmoser with 202 km. Here are 4 reasons why it's worth switching to the bike: 1️⃣ Faster: Especially for short distances! Heavy traffic and parking difficulties; the bicycle is often the quicker choice. No more traffic jams or annoying parking searches! 2️⃣ Cost-effective: Cycling eliminates fuel costs and expensive parking fees become a thing of the past. It saves you real money! 3️⃣ Healthier: Exercise keeps you fit and protects against cardiovascular diseases. By regularly cycling, you can actively promote your health. 4️⃣ Environmentally friendly: Just by cutting out 5 kilometers in the car, you reduce your CO2 emissions by one whole kilogram! By choosing the bicycle more often, you make a valuable contribution to climate protection. #KleenTex #KleenTexEurope #TirolRadelt #BikeLove #Health #ClimateProtection #TogetherForABetterFuture #MakeMoreofYourFloor

Did you know that if countries take action to encourage more physical activity, they could prevent about 500 million people around the world from developing heart disease, obesity or other non-communicable diseases in the next few years? That’s why I am so inspired that Decathlon Polska decided to create a new type of therapy: Bicycle Therapy. The objective of the project is simple: promoting cycling as a way of life. Let’s ride to work, to school, with friends to relax... Because ideally, we need to ride every day, even just a little bit. Decathlon partnered with Polish medical website Medonet and with the Tour de Pologne to encourage Poles to ride and to organize cycling events in different Polish cities. We also brought together Polish cycling legend Czeslaw Lang and medical specialists to share knowledge, present evidence, and issue recommendations and advice in a holistic way. Because cycling is the most popular sporting activity in Poland behind running. And the benefits of regular cycling extend far beyond physical fitness. It can transform lives and contribute to social wellbeing. It’s a true cultural shift! What do you think of this life-changing project? #Decathlon #DecathlonPoland #ReadyToPlay #DecathlonLinkedIn #bicycletherapy Piotr I Krzysztof I Karolina I Kacper

Riding in poor weather is achievable. Employers can help by providing bike shelters with roofs, changing rooms and showers that meet an employees expectations. A dry room can help too ♨ #Ireland #irelandbusiness #dublin #cork #irishbusiness #enterpriseireland #ridetowork #workplacecycling
Hello from a chilly Copenhagen!❄️ Danes talk a lot about the weather, and today is no exception; it's the coldest November day in 30 years. But let's move past the weather report. Even though it's testing us, our streets are far from empty of cyclists. 🌨️🚴 On a typical day 45% of Copenhageners bike to work or school*. With today's temperatures dropping, we might see a few less, but there's still a tough bunch pedaling through the frosty air. That's resilience! 💪 In Copenhagen, cycling is more than just a way to get around; it's a way of life and a dedication to sustainability and health, no matter the weather. A special shoutout goes to those defying today's cold.🏅 The Copenhagen Municipality has a “Bike Strategy” that aims to boost the number of bicycle commutes and decrease car travel to and from work. Whether you're cycling or keeping warm indoors, remember: every pedal stroke helps make our city a greener place 🌿🚲 *Source: Copenhagen Municipality #Copenhagen #Cycling #sustainablecity #sustainableliving #sustainability #Greentransport #Greencity #commuting #commutetowork #bikingcopenhagen 📸Visit Copenhagen

Our recent poll results show people are ready to swap their usual commute for cycling with a bike-to-work scheme! With 50% of daily trips being under 2 miles, biking could significantly cut carbon emissions. Plus, it's a great way to reduce your carbon footprint and feel invigorated at work. Studies also show that cyclists take 15% fewer sick days than non-cyclists - talk about a wheely good benefit! While cycling in the UK may not always seem ideal - especially on chilly mornings or busy roads, the benefits are clear: better health, a greener planet, and a boost in energy levels. Get your business bike-ready with our range of bike racks, stands, ramps and covered shelters https://lnkd.in/ey4yqGFY Ready to pedal your way to a healthier commute? #BikeToWork #GoGreen #EcoFriendlyCommute #PedalPower #HealthyCommute

Interesting new research on the current health benefits of cycling in France and the potential impact of increases in active travel. “In a country of low- to moderate cycling culture, cycling already generates important public health and health-related economic benefits. Further development of active transportation would increase these benefits while also contributing to climate change mitigation targets.” This may sound obvious but always helpful to have new evidence that shows a) even relatively low levels of cycling are making a positive difference to people’s health and b) investing in increasing cycling is definitely a good idea. #cycling #activetravel #health https://lnkd.in/dvYSadYH

Today, we celebrate #WorldBicycleDay under the theme "Promoting Health, Equity, and Sustainability through Cycling." Over the weekend, I had the privilege of joining Team Europe alongside EU Ambassador Jobst von Kirchmann for Harare Bicycle Day to commemorate this significant event. The event highlighted the numerous benefits of cycling, from improving personal health to supporting sustainable transport solutions. Harare Mayor Cllr Jacob Mafume emphasised the critical importance of providing safe cycling infrastructure to encourage more people to embrace this eco-friendly mode of transport. The Netherlands Ambassador to Zimbabwe H. E. Dr. Margret Verwijk shared an inspiring example of sustainability in action, noting that their Prime Minister rides a bicycle to work 😅. This commitment to cycling at the highest levels of government sets a powerful example for all of us. Meanwhile, the German Ambassador H.E. Mr Udo Volz emphasised the need to consider pedestrians, cyclists, and skateboarders in urban planning, ensuring that city infrastructure supports all forms of active mobility and not just car drivers. 🛴🚶♂️🚴♂️ As we celebrate World Bicycle Day, let's reflect on how we can integrate these insights into our local contexts. By promoting cycling, we can foster healthier communities, reduce our environmental footprint, and build more equitable cities. #EUwithU #WorldBicycleDay #CyclingForSustainability #SustainableTransport #GreenCities #TeamEurope #HarareBicycleDay #UrbanPlanning #ActiveMobility #Together4Tomorrow
